exportPolicies

Use the exportPolicies command to export the selected policies either to stdout or to the given output file. You specify the policy to export in one of two ways:

The name of the policy - you can further qualify this with type, sub-type and/or version.
The type of the policy - you can further qualify this with sub-type and/or version.

To determine the type and subtype of a policy, select Policies in the Navigator. The type and subtype for each policy is displayed in the summary pane.

After exporting policies, you can use the importPolicies command to import them to another sphere.

Not all files can be exported. Data that you cannot migrate between sphere environments includes the following items:

Logging policy data collected by your transaction management database.

You cannot migrate information that has been collected and written to either file or database storage through the application of logging policies on your managed services.
Instance data for exceptional conditions that have occurred in your transactions.

You cannot migrate information that has been collected by the transaction management component of AMS.
